This is all pretty fascinating to me. I guess we are all products of are environment.
I do all my shrimping on the St. Johns River, about 50 miles due south of Jacksonville. They come up the fresh water St. Johns to spawn. Our season doesn't start (when the shrimp start running) until mid July early August.
Just wondering if the Gulf Shrimp is a different species than what we have?
I quickly Googled Florida East Coast shrimp and October to June each year is when they say they make their run. I'm guessing that's in the ocean.
I've been shrimping for over 50 years in the river and I know they come in, in July & August.
Sorry to bother y'all with my musings. I understand it doesn't apply to the topic. It just got this ole boy to wondering.

Yes, they are different. Right now, it is Brown shrimp season. The white shrimp are about to start moving in for there spawn. Brown season last to about the third week of July and white season opens around the first week of Aug. This is all inside waters.
The shrimp you are catching could be called rubyreds or something like that. I'm sure y'all have whites and browns too, but not as many.
Google Brown and white shrimp for pictures. Look very close to the heads at the swords. The browns have brown strips on each side of the swords.
